Makin’ Links # 95


We run a lot of links here to the very linkable HAIRY GREEN EYEBALL II. If you like the sort of things we link to there, then you’ll like the original HAIRY GREEN EYEBALL (http://hairygreeneyeball.blogspot.com/ ) which is maintained online as an archive. Today, we take a look at 5 sections you might like to start with as you prowl the dusty halls of this great remaindered blog.
From last May, here’s a reprint of an early Vaughn Bode CHEECH WIZARD story from 1967 as reprinted in 1972. “The Race to the Moon” has no lizards or Bode broads and little to no swearing but it’s well drawn and quite funny political commentary.

I recently won a copy of the 1984 volume collecting RUDY IN HOLLYWOOD and it arrived in the mail just yesterday. William Overgard’s 1983 strip was the story of the first talking chimp wanting to get back into showbiz after years in retirement. Either that or “What if George Burns was a cigar-smoking ape?” Here’s a selection from the book:

EC and MAD artist Jack Davis became the darling of advertising in the sixties and seventies and it was largely founded on his record album cover career that dated back to the fifties! Here’s a nice collection of his highly detailed and amusing LP illustrations.

“Fearless Fosdick and the Lovesick Satellite” is a 1960 continuity from Al Capp’s “strip within a strip” starring Li’l ABNER’s “ideel” (and Capp’s DICK TRACY parody), FEARLESS FOSDICK offered here in its entirety.

One of my favorite European strips artwise has long been BERNARD PRINCE. Here we have what is believed to be the only English language translation of any of the strip, originally presented in the magazine WONDERWORLD from 1973.
